Shoot Shoot
U.F.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Convinced me that she was worth it
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
Holding out in my hotel room police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution, and my prints upon the gun
know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
The lyrics of U.F.O.'s Shoot Shoot tell the story of a man who is seduced by a tough and eccentric woman who is in possession of a gun. Despite the fact that she convinces him to shoot the gun for her, the man is unaware of her true intentions; she plans to use his fingerprints on the gun to frame him for a crime. The song is full of tension and excitement and perfectly captures the feeling of being caught up in a dangerous situation.
The first verse describes the woman as a "fast tough woman" who "played the clown", suggesting that she is unpredictable and dangerous. The man is powerless in her presence and cannot resist her advances. The chorus is the woman's command to the man to shoot the gun for her. There is a sense of urgency and desperation in her voice, and the man feels obligated to comply.
The second verse reveals the woman's true intentions - she plans to use the man as a patsy to commit a crime. The man is completely unaware of this and is caught up in the excitement of the moment. In the bridge of the song, the man realizes he needs to escape and get a "fast ride out of here".
The final verse suggests that the man is caught by the police with his fingerprints on the gun. The woman was the prosecution and has set him up to take the fall for her crime. The song ends with the man's escape in mind, still trying to get a fast ride out of town.
